Join us on June 23 as some of documentary's best directors and DPs share adventures from the field, their essential tips for collaboration, getting the shot, and the latest techniques and technologies.

Sarah Moffat (Kanata, The Letter)
Nadine Pequeneza and Stefan Randstrom (Inside Disaster: Haiti)
Moderated by: Nicholas de Pencier, csc (Let It Come Down: The Life of Paul Bowles, Manufactured Landscapes, Payback)
